I went yesterday and followed Poulter / Hatton and Hadwin / Taylor. Hatton played like a spud. Poulter was a deadset genius, particularly out of bunkers. Which his mate had him in for a fair bit of the day. On one of the back 9 par 3s, Hatton put the tee shot into the greenside bunker, fried egg. Poulter put it to 2 feet.

Hadwin and Taylor both played well. Hadwin was pretty good to watch off the tee in particular, and as he was teeing off on the same holes as Poulter, these were the best holes to stand around the tee shot rather than walk down to the 2nd.

The roars around the course for the Aussies were frequent and loud, and we saw a few of their holes as well, including a birdie on one of the front 9 par 3s that Leish put to about 8 feet.
